Preparation

Working in small batches, pour cold mixture into the bottle of a carbonator, filling it not more than 1/3 full (this will give the mixture room to foam). Charge with CO2 until very fizzy, waiting between charges for foam to subside completely. (This can take up to 2 minutes, so be patient.)

Very slowly, as if opening a bottle of soda, release the bottle from the carbonator. Serve immediately, or cover tightly and chill. To serve, pour into small glasses and serve straight up, with a squeeze of lime or twist of lemon.

Tip

Using a home carbonator to make anything but sparkling water may void the manufacturer's warranty. Exercise caution, especially when removing bottles.
